Great skate for kids that can skate (maybe even for those who are learning). My girls (7 and 10) like to skate "fast" and these do the trick... once we replaced the bearings with Bones Reds. We also had to replace the laces as the ones that came with these were really cheap and frayed on the first use. The skates have held up well over the past several months, despite the kids wearing them 2-3 times a week at the rink, running into the wall, scooting on the floor, and all other shenanigans. Size... my 7 year old wears an 11-12 shoe, her size 12 skate fits perfect... she will probably have to get a size 13 or 1 very soon. Originally I ordered 10 thinking she was still a 10... foot would not even go in the skate! My 10 year old wears a 13 dress shoe and a size 2 sneaker. Her skates are a size 4. A pair of thick socks, gel inserts and she is comfy, comfy. Suggestion... go at least one size up, use thick socks, and add insoles for comfortable skates that you won't have to replace with a new size within 6 months.Really worth buying. My grandchildren loved them.These run very small, my granddaughter wears a size 9, so I bought the J10. I had to return them for the J12, which fit perfect and she loves them. Shipping was very expensive to mail the first pair back because they are heavy.AprenderWonderful skates. Just like the big kids and adults. They are very stylish and do not look cheaply made. They appear name brand. Good quality and look identical to its picture.Nice vendor to deal with. Helped me get the right fit and they are perfect. WAY better than all the others I feverishly shopped for. And best looking too in my book. Go cute with my Riedell skates.Girls love themMy daughter loves these skates. She is new to skating and these skates are perfect for learning. The skates well built and the colors are perfect.
